Lignin biodegradation by the ascomyceteChrysonilia sitophila

Abstract: The lignin biodegradation process has an important role in the carbon cycle of the biosphere. The study of this natural process has developed mainly with the use of basidiomycetes in laboratory investigations. This has been a logical approach since most of the microorganisms involved in lignocellulosic degradation belong to this class of fungi. However, other microorganisms such as ascomycetes and also some bacteria, are involved in the lignin decaying process. This work focuses on lignin biodegradation by a m… Show more

“…The biodegradation of lignocellulosic materials by a fungus primarily occurs in an extracellular form, since they must initially be depolymerized to smaller compounds to be susceptible to be transported by the cell wall and intracellular fungi metabolism. Moreover, fungidegrading action occurs through penetration of their hyphae in the lumen of the plant cells (Rodríguez et al 1997); afterwards, their hyphae produces a great diversity of extracellular metabolites, which then act by degrading the plant cell wall.…”

“…Other factors, like the amount of nitrogen, should be taken into account when biological pre-treatment is considered. When white-rot fungus is used for pre-treatment, nitrogen limitation would be preferable, as higher glucose consumption is associated with excess nitrogen [22]. Although fungi as decomposes are well known, there has been proof that bacteria could be used for decomposition of lignin as well.…”
